Hi all!
We are proud to present you the next release of Galaxy Docker.
https://github.com/bgruening/docker-galaxy-stable https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/bgruening/galaxy-stable/
A few highlights:
* based on Galaxy 15.03, with all it's new awesome features * Docker image is now based on Ubuntu 14.04 * move all required Galaxy dependencies to toolshed/requirements
* use Ansible roles to build large parts of the image
Super cool. How many dependencies are you having to install from source instead of from Debian packages (either official or 3rd party)?
A few python packages from pypi, npm and a self-build nginx to get some extensions in that are currently not available in the official build.
I think Docker has a lot of usefulness for complicated setups; for software packaging I think making proper Debian packages benefits the entire bioinformatics community more. Bonus: you get a collaborative team (like the Debian Med group) to share the burden.
Sure, if you have any ideas what we can package? I don't think we have much packages that are not from Debian :)
I don't know what people's interest is in packaging tools and other dependencies for Debian but I'd be happy to talk about it informally; give a formal talk; present a poster; and/or host a BoF on the topic at the Galaxy Community Conference in July.
I think that in general the entire problem of deployment is very interesting for the Galaxy community and we have a lot of ideas how to make it better in/with Galaxy. Not sure about Debians role here, as we are aiming for a reproducible installation of tools over time. I will organise a BoF at BOSC to talk in a more general way about deployment w/wo docker, packages, bioboxes, brew, conda, easyinstall and so on ... would be great if you can join! Thanks for caring!
